Additional Topics

Authorization

Access to certain resources provided by the application, e.g. facilities, actions, user interface elements, can be limited or unlimited. Access is unlimited if the user is a superuser. Any superuser can set or remove the Superuser property for any other user. Access for non-superuser users can be restricted by their groups (group-level permissions) and/or locations (location-level permissions).

Group-Level Authorization

Group-level authorization is implemented through group permissions, which are a set of boolean values (true/false) that allow/deny group users access to various resources. The permissions are divided into categories and subcategories for easier navigation.

The image shows the permissions for the Manager group. If a checkbox is set, the resource is allowed for the users, otherwise it is denied.

Here are some examples of permissions:

• Actions / Facility / Mode / ServiceEntry. If the action ServiceEntry is set, the users of this group can open the gate in the entry direction, otherwise they cannot.

• Tables / audit / Read. The Administration | Audit page displays data from the audit database table. By default, access to the audit table is denied to all groups. This means that the data on the Administration | Audit page is only displayed to superusers.

• Views | Menu | Administration | Groups. If the Groups checkbox is set, the menu item is shown to the users, otherwise it is hidden.

The permissions are divided into the following top categories:

Category	Description	Example
Actions	Actions, the user can execute from the dashboard	ServiceEntry, allow/deny users to permanently open facilities in entry direction
Tables	Create, read, update and delete records in database tables	Allow/deny users to access the audit table
Views	Show/hide user interface elements	Show/hide the Administration / Groups menu

Note

If the user belongs to more than one group and access to a resource is allowed in one of the groups, the user can access the resource

Note

The configuration of items in the Views category should be consistent with items in the Tables category. For example, if a menu for a page is configured to be displayed, but the database table whose data is displayed on the page is configured to be denied, the data will not be displayed

Location-Level Authorization

Location-level authorization means that some location-aware resources, such as facilities, groups, and users, can be assigned to one or more locations and/or positions, so that the user can access only those resources that have the same locations.

For example, there are two locations: Standort1 with positions P1 and P2 and Standort2 with positions P3 and P4:

In the above picture, All positions means P1 and P2 for Standort1 and P3 and P4 for Standort2.

If we take the user manager and select locations and positions like in the picture below

then the user manager will have access to other location-aware resources (users, groups and facilities) as follows:

Position	Access allowed
P1	Yes
P2	Yes
P3	Yes
P4	No
